My name is Isabel, I am 28 years old, from Switzerland, and work as a recruiter. I have studied French, Philosophy and Politics. In my free time, I like to clean, go for runs and go dancing. My style as a tutor is rather blasé. The most important thing is that we get on and that we know what we want to accomplish together. My last degree was a Master’s in Political and Legal Theory from the University of Warwick. Previous degrees include an undergraduate degree from the University of Zurich in Philosophy and French as well as a diploma in translation studies. I did 2 semesters of law on top of that.

I'm a friendly and enthusiastic teacher of Spanish who loves teaching, learning and studying. I'm a teacher of English and Spanish. I've studied to teach both languages. I really enjoy teaching Spanish and showing my culture to all those who want to learn. I've been teaching for 23 years and I've been tutoring online for 5 years. So, I'm patient and enthusiastic. When I teach, I cater for communication and I try to develop the intercultural competence in all my students. I'm a M.A. in Contemporary Literature written in English. I wrote my thesis on the novel The Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera. I love tea. In fact I'm a tea sommelier (I have a certificate) and I enjoy tasting different teas and blends. I'm fond of nature and outdoor activities. I'm interestered in literature and films, especially in The Hunger Games and Star Wars (my kids names start with LS like Luke and Leia Skywalker).

I’m currently a student studying biomedical engineering at university. I have been tutoring for 3 years and enjoy seeing my students progress and improve. I have taught students from primary to secondary schools. Helping students be more confident and improve in their subjects is always very rewarding. I’m a very patient tutor so students can feel comfortable to ask me multiple questions about topics they don’t feel confident in. I change my teaching style accordingly to my student’s preference to ensure they benefit the most of the lesson.

My name is Teo and I am currently undertaking my Professional Diploma in Secondary Teaching of English at the University of Edinburgh. I have been a tutor with GoStudent for over a year now, helping students from a range of age groups and ability levels achieve their potential and acquire the results they desire. My experience stretches from S1 to S6 students, with lessons carefully tailored to each and every one of them. In addition to my experience of teaching English to students from the Scottish Exam Board, I have also gained experience with England's AQA exam board, supporting several students in GCSE and A-Level English. Furthermore, my education in Film Studies from the University of St Andrews has allowed me to support students in the subject of Media as well. I strive to keep each lesson focused on the student's ability while introducing relatable and up-to-date topics to retain the student's interest as they stay engaged for the whole lesson. I have a great passion for teaching and helping young people achieve their academic goals, therefore, if the experience I have outlined above matches what you are looking for in a tutor, do not hesitate to get in touch! I am currently in the process of attaining my Professional Diploma in Secondary Teacher of English at the University of Edinburgh. Before embarking on my teacher journey, I dedicated the year 2021-2022 to my Master's degree in Playwriting and Dramaturgy at the University of Glasgow. That year resulted in my obtainment of a Distinction (First Class) achievement in that course. Over that year, I further developed my writing skills as well as my critical and academic engagement with the Drama genre. I believe this experience has proved especially valuable during my work with teaching and tutoring. Prior to my Master's qualification, I achieved a Second Class First Division result in my Undergraduate degree in English and Film Studies from the University of St Andrews. During this time, the majority of my literature skills were developed as well as my ability to critically engage with the art of moving pictures. Throughout my lengthy academic experience, I have engaged with a wide range of textual and visual styles and genres which has allowed me to provide knowledge and insight to each one of my tutoring sessions over the past year and a half. In addition, my teacher education will prove even more useful in my tutoring work as my skills will continue to develop, and my ability to support my students will continue to grow. I do hope I have been successful in representing my academic background and would be incredibly happy and excited to pass my literacy skills onto my students and help them achieve the academic results they are looking for.
